I have two RK05-F's, maybe even 3, but can not check at this moment.
Yes, pretty nice. If memory serves they show up as two separate RK05
drives to the controller.
They do - that's why it has two unit numbers on it.

unreasonable to repair at the time, but today, I'd probably give it a
shot.
I did get the RK11-C and an RK05J. I haven't tried to restore the
RK11-C but I've used the RK05J with an RKV11D.
I only *remember* several years ago one RK11-C on eBay.
Always regretted not having made a shot at getting it.
I would love to get an RK11-C, working or not working, and trade for a
working RK11-D. Ethan, do you have any on-line pictures of the RK11-C?

DEC's big drives.
Yeah, me too :-)
And I like the typical smell of a just powered-up RK05.
